Social Gameshow: Meet People Through Chaotic Games
About the event
🎯 Use[Less] Skills: Social Gameshow Play like a kid. Compete like it matters. Lisbon’s most playful social event for expats & locals ❓ Have you ever been in a real gameshow? Not watched. Not imagined. Actually been inside one. This is your chance.
🎲 What is this? A real-life social gameshow in Lisbon where: • Expats & locals come together • Teams are formed randomly • You play ridiculous, competitive DIY games No experience needed. Just bring energy (or we’ll create it for you).
🌍 Who is this for? • ✈️ Expats who want to try something different in Lisbon • 🧠 People tired after a week of work who just want to let go and have fun • 🎉 Anyone who wants to be playful, social, and a bit ridiculous again You can come alone or with friends. Most people do.
🤝 What actually happens? • 🎲 You get placed in a random team • 🔥 You compete in fast, chaotic mini-games • 😂 You laugh way more than expected • 🏆 You fight for points, medals, and the final win It’s low-pressure, but surprisingly competitive.
🧩 The games? Think: • Balancing things that shouldn’t be balanced • Building things that shouldn’t work • Teamwork that somehow becomes chaos • Simple rules… unexpectedly hard to win All DIY. All real. All fun.
⚡ The vibe • No phones • No awkward standing around • No “what do I say now?” moments Just play, interaction, and real connection.
🎟️ How it works • Come alone or with friends • Teams are randomly chosen (this is part of the magic) • We guide everything — you just play Winning team gets the glory 🏆
🎤 Your host Hey, I’m João. I created Use[Less] Skills because I got tired of a life that was always about being productive, serious, and “useful”. The moments I enjoyed the most were the opposite: • playing • trying random things • being a bit ridiculous But I realized something… I almost never allowed myself to do them. So I built the kind of event I actually wanted to go to. Something where you can: • let go for a few hours • play like a kid again • connect without overthinking Just playing. Competing. Being a bit ridiculous. Most people come alone. By the end, they’re not. I’ll guide everything, keep the energy high, and make sure you’re never stuck in an awkward moment. All you have to do is show up.
We’ll be at Destination Hostel Rossio, a lively and welcoming hostel right in the heart of Lisbon.
• 🛋️ Relaxed and social atmosphere • 🍹 Drinks and snacks available at the hostel • 🤝 A great space to meet people and hang out • 📍 Central location, just a short walk from Rossio
